I'm aiming to hike it in three days, starting around the 31st of March. I'll do it solo regardless, but would love to meet a like-minded hiker.

For those unfamiliar, this is a tough off trail loop. Most do it in a week. Based on prior experience three days will be a reasonable pace, blending fast and light hiking with time to take pictures and hang out drinking tea and taking in the views.

this loop has been on my mind for years. have fun and let us hear how it was. don't know if you are a member of another forum or not. bogley.com. it is a utah site with people who have huge amounts of experience all over the state. you can ask for beta and post trip reports and photos for all to see. i am a member here and there. well worth it. hope water isn't to hard to find.

i was looking at your map and it looks the same as mine. did you use topo! to make it?

no, i know the map is not mine. i should have said it looked similar. i have never posted any of my maps on the web. make sure to pay close attention to the description of the potential water sources in allens book. it sounded like some will be a ways apart.
